Until the mid-2000s, all 3 divisions were rotated every year on a 3-year rotating cycle. You could look at state meet programs from 3 years prior to know exactly when you would compete.

Better than Texas heat? Not sure, but an interesting solution for distance-oriented schools like yours would be to run all the 3200s on Thursday evening. This is what happened when the 2-mile was introduced back in 1966. The 2-mile was run on a day preceding the main finals. That opens up a...

Following up on this long thread from ages ago, I mentioned last October I was updating my personal lists to a minimum 100-deep. A month ago, I decided to expand that to 250-deep, a project that will take an estimated 2-3 years to complete. I was noticing that even at 100-deep in some lists...

An update to this thread: Bob Schul's Olympic teammate and bronze medalist in the 5000m, famed Oregon coach Bill Dellinger, passed away this week, only a year after Mr. Schul. https://goducks.com/news/2025/6/27/track-and-field-bill-dellinger-passes-away-at-the-age-of-91

I noted that over the weekend. Jordan Gross anchored, which he didn't not do at state. #2 Ohio all-time, only 0.3 sec. behind the '03 Glenville team.

No need for a 4-day weekend. Can easily be done in 3 days. Texas has 6 divisions, and their's is a 3-day meet. https://tx.milesplit.com/meets/660960-uil-state-track-and-field-state-championships-2025/results

Why not 4 D1 regionals? We all know most are in the Clev, Col, and Cin areas, but I can easily see some Col schools getting pulled together with the Tol D1s to form the 4th

With Jordan Gross on anchor, Vandalia Butler runs 3:10.96 for 3rd place today! #2 Ohio all-time, only 0.3 behind the Glenville team at the 2003 Adidas Outdoor Nationals! 3rd leg on that Glenville team was all-time great, Ted Ginn Jr. in his junior year.

WOW...didn't see this one coming but, Lexington's state champ, Latrell Hughes, ROCKETS to #2 Ohio all-time with his 1:48.46 in placing 5th overall in the boys' 800m!!!!

Completely solo effort. Amazing.

Continuing the excellent pole vaulting this weekend, Cincinnati-area vaulters Claire Iaciofano (Turpin) (state D1 champ in '24 & '25) won the Adidas Nationals & Rachel Johannesmeyer (St. Ursula Academy) placed 3rd in the girls' national champs comp.

Seeing some nice performances out of New Balance Nationals @ Philly. Ohio outdoor record-holder, Garrett Guinther (Sidney), set a new meet and Ohio record with his 17' 4 1/2" win on Saturday! Sam Paeth (Fremont St. Joseph CC) also placed 4th in the same comp. Annie McCracken (Granville) place...

That's NOT mud. That's a wet, finely-ground red cinder track. It ain't the same. This has a lot of similarity to the clay courts at the French Open.
